Burr Island’s New Track ‘Your Eyes, My Eyes’ Lights Up the Folk Scene
London-based duo Burr Island is back with a mesmerizing new single that’s set to tug at the heartstrings of listeners worldwide. ‘Your Eyes, My Eyes’, released via Left Foot Records, marks a milestone in their musical journey.
Comprising the talented members Tom England and Oskar Porter, Burr Island is the perfect example of the power of friendship and the magic of music. Trained as actors, Tom and Oskar found solace and inspiration on the windswept shores of the Jurassic Coast during the dark days of lockdown. It was there, against the backdrop of crashing waves and rugged cliffs, that Burr Island was born.
Drawing inspiration from legendary songsmiths like Lennon/McCartney, Paul Simon, and Nick Drake, Burr Island is known for its acoustic folk sounds that are both timeless and tender. With influences ranging from The Beach Boys to Crosby, Stills & Nash, their sound has been compared to indie folk luminaries like Fleet Foxes and Kings of Convenience.
‘Your Eyes, My Eyes’ is a beautiful piano ballad that captures the essence of love in all its forms. With lilting vocal lines and warm choral harmonies reminiscent of CSNY, the track is a heartfelt ode to the bonds that tie us together. As Tom and Oskar reveal, “This is a love song for anyone who wants it. Whether you’re a grandmother cherishing the time with your young grandchild, friends with an unbreakable bond, or star-crossed lovers sinking into each other’s eyes, this song is for you.”
As the release of their highly anticipated album, ‘Days Dreamt’, approaches on May 31st, Burr Island is gearing up to enchant audiences with their soul-stirring melodies and captivating performances. Don’t miss your chance to experience the magic of Burr Island live at St Pancras Old Church on June 6th—trust us, you won’t want to miss it!

London-born, South Africa-based folk artist Seth Tabatznik unveils his latest single, “Shining For Love”, a luminous and heartfelt composition that celebrates life, love and the natural world.
Built around layers of atmospheric acoustic guitars, devotional strings, soft shakers, and Seth’s evocative vocal delivery, “Shining For Love” captures a sense of reverence that feels timeless. Each element moves with intention, allowing the song to bloom from a whisper into a radiant, full-bodied expression of gratitude and connection.
“This song came to me in a forest, spoken by the elements around me”, Seth shares. “It was like nature took my pen and transcribed the lyrics into my notebook, accompanied by a simple four-chord progression. I love how the song builds and accelerates as a celebration of life, love, and nature. Every sound, every movement, is her way of expressing herself as she is one being, of which we are a part, not apart.”
Now based in the Western Cape mountains of South Africa, Seth’s music is steeped in a deep respect for the land and the lessons it offers. His work bridges folk traditions, medicine music, and contemporary songwriting, echoing influences from Bon Iver, Noah Kahan, and Nick Mulvey, who also mentored Seth during the development of his forthcoming album.
With “Shining For Love,” Seth Tabatznik continues to carve his own path; one defined by warmth, sincerity and an unwavering devotion to the beauty of being alive.
